Maybe you already thought about this, but I thought about a spell that would resemble the shearing spell but would work on all monsters and will make them drop everything the monsters usually drop. It would have to require a higher magic lvl, burn a lot of mana just like shearing and would have a success rate parameter. In case of success, the monster drops the item(s), and maybe some fraction of the XP that monster would give if killed (this might encourage a new class of non-aggressive "white hat" mages). In case of failed steal, all monsters of that type that are in the area will attack the caster (just like evil mushrooms)

This will be a good spell , mostly because fo all the crazy prices for ore , pearls and so on, the 1 in 1000 chance of getting ore is ridiculous , cmon devs i can see why some of the team left and made branches of this game.it is a great start tho
